Ironshore Inc.’s construction industry group, in conjunction with its Ironshore Specialty Casualty unit, is offering enhanced coverage for designers and contractors, with a specialty program for contractors pollution liability.

Policy limits are for up to $10 million for primary and $25 million for excess coverage, the New York-based insurer said in its statement Monday.

Ironshore said in its statement the coverage will be on an occurrence basis within its combination policy covering contractors liability, contactors pollution liability and pollution mitigation.

Ironshore said also its newly revised designers and contractors professional and pollution liability form provides claims-made, third-party professional liability protection against damages related to contractors negligence in the performance of professional services.
